Queues in front of a food place in the Netherlands is super rare. When you witness one then you can be assure that this food place is not going to let you down. This was the case with Hinoki, a Japanese specialized restaurant in Rotterdam. So here were are queuing with J. and N. for our ramen feast outside in the freezing cold (as I already caught cold as you see) for roughly 20 min (felt like 45 min).

Hinoki you better not let us down.

Reservation not possible

Of course we did think of reservating a table before queuing outside in the cold but unfortunate Hinoki does not accept.

But we are inside! And ready to feast! And look this is their top-5 bestsellers
list.

We `gānbēi’d` with our sake which was nice and warm and I was awaken straight away as the alcohol kicked into my system. Warm sake is so nice in the cold Winter days and I`m not even much of a drinker.

Followed by more warm, hot steamy goodies: our ramen! This is what we came
for.

We waited roughly 20 minutes outside freezing and it was not fun but my bowl of ramen and the other side dishes made up for it. Everything was tasty, not overly salty and most importantly: heartstomachwarming. I have checked their handy allergy/food list and all our foods except for the eggs contains MSG. It was expected anyways and I respect the honesty and I will definitely continue eating here.

Comments

The food looks really good, I love ramen. Rotterdam has such good restaurants in general, last time I went there me and my friend ended up at a Spanish restaurant that was called 'Lola' I think - have you heard of it? The food was so good. Waiting outside is a bit of pain, especially when it's that cold outside. xx

Lucky that you don't usually need to queue! Although, my mom always likes going to places with queues because she says you can trust that those places are delicious because everyone is going to them. I mean, she's not wrong! After a long wait and a delicious meal, I always joke that the long queue is part of the restaurant's strategy to make the food taste better, because the hungrier you are when you arrive, the more appreciative of food you are! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's

EN Thank you for your many
sweet comments and condolences in my previous post, I appreciate it a lot, so
thank you again! So! Recently I went shopping (because
it’s warm in Holland, 18°C
and I was in a mood for new dresses) and one of the things I’ve bought were
these awesome knuckle rings at good ol` H&M. Too bad all the S sizes were
out of stock. But I still wanted them so I bought the size M which was way too
big for my fingers. What to do about it? In this post I’m going to
show you how tape will be the answer of fixing oversized rings! NLAllereerst wil ik jullie bedanken voor de lieve
berichtjes en condoleances! Ik waardeer het enorm c:Het was vandaag 18 graden! Echt freaky gewoon. En
heeft me weer in de stemming gebracht voor winkelen dus heb ik onder andere
een set ringen gekocht bij de H&M. Alleen jammer dat alle maatjes S niet
meer hingen. Maar ik wilde deze ringen dus ik kocht maat M. Veelste groot natuurlijk dus hoe los je het op? Met
tape kom…

EN Have you heard of beauty
brand Vine Vera before? No, me neither until I was in London when I passed a shop/spa and a
salesman lured me in with a free moisture day cream sample. And the salesman whom is a
foreigner immediately turned into a cunning selling mode by letting me try on
Vine Vera’s peeling treatment on my hand, telling me how big my pores are
(gee thanks), the discounts and all the ‘promising’ results and glory of Vine
Vera. It was like a home shopping TV
channel but then in real life. Firstly, Vine Vera is hella expensive! And the salesman was not
giving up in selling me the ‘resveratrol merlot peeling’. I was trying to nope-my-way-out
to all his offer and he finally offered me the peeling for £50 instead £100. Along
with a free hand cream, a free spa facial treatment (didn’t go due my short
stay in London),
a spatula and another handful of free samples - I surrendered. This is probably my most
expensive peeling yet. The Vine Vera resveratrol

This is Ghent
(and this is Bruges)
Another city trip to Belgium and this time it`s Ghent! The last time I entered Belgium was when I visited Bruges with A. which I written a blogpost about it. If you need any Bruges trip tips, feel free to check out my Bruges-blogpost then! If you feeling more Ghent-ish then please continue scrolling down. Again, one of the perks of living south Holland is the quick access to Belgium. For me it only takes less then an hour to reach Ghent by car. -5° GhentSummer is around the corner and by now you should know I`m a slow blogger. Me and A. were in Ghent during the Winter time and it was minus 5 degrees Celsius. My scarf and thick coat should give you the hint anyway. Anyway! It was pretty cold but the sun was shining effortlessly that day and that makes me and A. a happier travel person too! This picture looks like Summer doesn`t it? But really it was -5°.Food time!
